This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

<p><em>Contributed by &a.jkh;</em>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The goals of the FreeBSD Project are to provide software that may
|
|
be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us
|
|
have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would
|
|
certainly not mind a little financial renumeration now and then,
|
|
but we're definitely not prepared to insist on it. We believe
|
|
that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any
|
|
and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets
|
|
the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit.
|
|
This is, I believe, one of the most fundamental goals of Free
|
|
Software and one that we enthusiastically support.
|
|
|
|
<p>That code in our source tree which falls under the GNU Public License
|
|
(GPL) or GNU Library Public License (GLPL) comes with slightly more
|
|
strings attached, though at least on the side of enforced
|
|
access rather than the usual opposite. Due to the additional
|
|
complexities that can evolve in the commercial use of GPL software,
|
|
we do, however, endeavor to replace such software with submissions
|
|
under the more relaxed BSD copyright whenever possible.
